"Alright, if you don't believe me, we can make a bet!" Ye Chen said.
"Say it, what's the bet?" Wen Rou said with great interest, as if Ye Chen was practically asking for a thrashing.
"Whatever you want to bet, we'll bet!" Ye Chen said. "If I win, you have to recognize me as your godfather."
"Shameless!" Wen Rou's face darkened.
"Dare you or not, it's just a simple question!" Ye Chen said nonchalantly.
"..." Wen Rou felt a surge of indignation.
Su Binglan also stiffened when she heard Ye Chen's proposition, thinking he was being rather shameless!
However, they didn't interfere with Ye Chen because, after all, he was the boss.
"I'll take your bet!" Wen Rou gritted her teeth, close to being infuriated by Ye Chen.
"Good, but I won't bully you, either. You name your condition, too. If I lose, I'll do as you say!" Ye Chen said fairly.
"I, I, I…" Wen Rou got so agitated that she ended up not saying anything.
Wen Rou wanted to make Ye Chen kneel on the ground, wash her feet, and sing 'Conquer,' but having Ye Chen wash her feet would be letting him take advantage of her, wouldn't it?
What could she possibly make Ye Chen do to torment him thoroughly? The beautiful Wen Rou pondered hard in her mind.
"What do you want me to do, will you just say it!" Ye Chen was getting impatient. "How about this, if you lose, you recognize me as your godfather. If I lose, I'll recognize you as godmother!"
Ye Chen, sticking to his principles of fairness and not bullying women, said all this without a hint of blushing.
"Get lost!" Wen Rou shouted angrily.
"If I lose, I'll agree to your request, and if you lose, you can't touch them for a month!" Wen Rou said fiercely, pointing at Su Binglan, Li Yan, and the others.
"Why drag us into your bet!"
"I'm almost pregnant by now, and you're telling me this?"
"Wen Rou is just jealous, Ye Chen, you can't agree to her!"
Before Ye Chen could respond, the ladies from the Ye Family Ladies' Group expressed their disapproval of Wen Rou's behavior.
"Hmph!" Wen Rou sneered as she looked at the landlord and his wife.
Wen Rou thought it over and over again, only this would torment Ye Chen sufficiently.
"I agree to your terms, can we start now?" To the beautiful Wen Rou's surprise, Ye Chen readily agreed, even seeming somewhat eager.
"You agreed?" Wen Rou couldn't believe it. Ye Chen had agreed too readily; there couldn't be a trick, could there?
"Why can't I agree?" Ye Chen blinked, looking utterly harmless.
"..." All members of the Ye Family Ladies' Group silently mourned for Wen Rou; they knew that this time, she probably fell into the trap Ye Chen had dug.
"Hmph, I'll show you the time now; don't even think about pulling any tricks!" Wen Rou took out her phone and started timing Ye Chen.
"I just don't believe you can clear this large piece of wasteland in ten minutes!" Wen Rou said.
Whether Ye Chen had a scheme or not, Wen Rou had no idea, but reality was right in front of her, and she didn't believe for a second that Ye Chen could level the wasteland with just a shock of his tiger body.
"Then I'll start now," Ye Chen said casually.
"Right, I started timing from the second you started talking!" Wen Rou made an oK gesture. "It's already been five, six, seven, eight seconds, and I'll be watching you fail with my own eyes!"
Wen Rou deliberately delaying time made Ye Chen speechless; the cute Wen Rou was making it a bit embarrassing for him to win.
"Step back!" Ye Chen commanded in a deep voice.
Upon Ye Chen's order, Wen Rou and the others immediately took several steps back, wanting to see what exactly he intended to do.
"Ladies of the landlord, don't be too amazed, for the landlord is just that fierce!" Ye Chen cackled strangely.
The Ye Family Ladies' Group burst into collective laughter, sensing the forcefulness in Ye Chen's words.
"Boom!"
The True Qi within Ye Chen's body erupted violently, and from the ancient black blade in his hand, a howling black rainbow surged into the sky, scattering the clouds above.
Fortunately, Su Binglan's villa was situated on the side of a mountain; otherwise, if this scene had been witnessed by others, it might have scared someone to death.
"What is this thing?" Wen Rou turned pale with shock in an instant.
"Ye Chen, he was actually this powerful!" Even Su Binglan and Zhang Xinlan were shocked and stunned.
Ye Chen had been continuously cultivating with Su Binglan and the others, and while their Martial True Qi surged, they also came to understand the many divisions of the Martial Arts Realm.
Su Binglan, Zhang Xinlan, and Li Yan all knew Ye Chen was strong, with combat power rivaling that of the legendary Nine Dragons figures, but they were still astonished by his display of true strength.
"This bit of wild grass, I could chop it all with a wave of my hand. When I bet you ten minutes, it was also to lure you into my trap, but I didn't expect you to agree to the bet so innocently—it's endearing." Ye Chen chuckled lightly, waving the ancient blade in his hand, and the soaring black light swept across the wasteland, mowing down the weeds.
Wen Rou had no sharp rebuttal, as she was completely dumbfounded.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The earth itself trembled, the mountainsides swayed gently as if subjected to an incomparable impact.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
The blades of grass were swept away by the black light slashed out by Ye Chen, piling up the dead branches and rotten leaves on the ground. Finally, Ye Chen sheathed the ancient blade and, like a wild beast, charged towards the small mountain of weeds.
Since the villa leaned against the mountainside, with woods right behind the courtyard in a deserted area, Ye Chen harnessed his energy to his dantian and filled his frame with the rollicking True Qi, grabbing the hut-sized pile of grass to take and discard in the deserted area.
Compared to the mound of grass, Ye Chen's figure seemed small, yet he appeared to possess immeasurable strength, carrying the mountain-like heap of hay as he strode forth, showing no sign of strain whatsoever.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Each of Ye Chen's steps caused a rumble, making the very ground shake as if he were carrying a mountain forward.
As the mountainside trembled slightly, Ye Chen tossed the pile of grass into the woods. However, he didn't turn back, but instead, took out the ancient blade, emitted a black light, and sliced off a gigantic stone to hold in his arms.
"Boom!"
Ye Chen slammed the huge stone onto the ground, then began to push it across, aiming to clear the surface.
With the boulder ahead and Ye Chen behind, he ceaselessly shifted the stone across the land, levelling every uneven patch of ground, like a super bulldozer.
Soon, the backyard, previously full of weeds, was cleared by Ye Chen, with the ground thoroughly compacted and evenly flattened by his persistent pushing.
In the end, Ye Chen also moved the huge stone out of the way, successfully completing the grand cleanup.
The backyard, which had been a desolate and overgrown wilderness, was utterly transformed in a very short span of time. The dead branches and weeds were gone, and the vast backyard now looked broad and even.
Ye Chen, standing on solid ground, took a deep breath, and the fragrance that emanated from the freshly turned soil made him feel unexpectedly relaxed and refreshed, his body experiencing an inexplicable ease.
Watching Ye Chen with his eyes closed, bathed in sunlight, Zhang Xinlan and Su Binglan, too, were momentarily mesmerized. Everything had occurred like a dream!
